US Admits It Will Still Control Iraq After Transfer  
by Rupert Cornwell in Washington 
  
The US has made clear that the transfer of sovereignty to a 
provisional Iraqi government on 30 June will be a limited affair, 
and that ultimate authority will reside at a gigantic new US embassy 
in Baghdad and with the military occupation force.

In sometimes heated hearings on Capitol Hill this week, senior Bush 
administration officials admitted they did not know who would be in 
the new government, precisely what powers it would exercise, nor the 
exact shape of the new Security Council resolution that Washington 
is seeking at the United Nations.

Marc Grossman, Under-Secretary of State for political affairs, said 
the government would put "a very important Iraqi face" on many 
aspects of the country's life. But the US military, not the Iraqi 
security forces, would be in charge of all security matters.
